Everyone knew that there was no way the Ukraine was going to attack Russia without American permission.
We said exactly that.
RT:
The US has quietly given Ukraine the go-ahead to launch long-range strikes against targets inside Russian territory, The Times reported on Friday, citing sources. The Pentagon has apparently changed its stance on the matter as it has become less concerned that such attacks could escalate the conflict.
According to a US defense source interviewed by the outlet, the Pentagon is now “not saying to Kiev, ‘Don’t strike the Russians [in Russia or Crimea].’
“We can’t tell them what to do. It’s up to them how they use their weapons,” he said, adding that Washington only demands that Kiev conforms to international law and the Geneva conventions when using US-supplied weapons.
However, the Pentagon has revised the evaluation of threats linked to the Ukraine conflict, particularly on whether providing Kiev with arms might trigger a direct clash between NATO and Russia, the report says.
We’re still using the same escalatory calculations but the fear of escalation has changed since the beginning,” a US official told the outlet, arguing that the calculus had changed due to “brutality the Ukrainians are being subjected to by the Russians.”
Against this backdrop, Pentagon officials are now reportedly “seriously” considering Ukraine’s requests for long-range weapons that could be used for strikes deep inside Russia. “Nothing is off the table,” a senior US defense official told The Times.
This is very, very extreme.
What exactly is the difference between the US sending the Ukraine weapons and telling them to use them on Russia and the US attacking Russia?
The truly amazing part is how little people are talking about it.
I still see boomers saying “oh, haha – you’re paranoid, nothing is going to happen, this is all very normal!”
‼️🇷🇺 Russia’s retaliatory strike would involve hundreds of missiles that are impossible to intercept.
If anyone strikes territory of #Russia response will be overwhelming, but they will only be used if someone attacks Russia first. #Putin pic.twitter.com/R1Jvp0YbIJ
